How much does a custom wig cost in New York?

$1,200 – $2,800 for the unit, quoted as a written band before the order rather than on the chair. The price does not change by locality — there is no travel surcharge anywhere in New York. What does change your quote is base material, hair grade, coverage area and density.

How long does a custom wig take in New York?

12–15 days fully custom. The consultation and template take about 45 minutes and can happen at your home anywhere in New York; the fitting itself is a separate appointment once the unit arrives.

How often will I need servicing in New York?

Every three to four weeks — roughly 14 visits a year. New York's humidity is what sets that interval; sweat, not manufacturing, is what ends most bonds here.

Do you fit a custom wig at home in New York?

Yes, and most New York clients choose it. Free doorstep consultation anywhere in the five boroughs. Templating, fitting, servicing and repairs all happen at home to the same standard as a studio visit, at the same price.

How New York's climate changes this build

New York's climate is genuinely two different briefs a year apart. Summer here is hot and humid enough that a sealed skin base will lift at the perimeter faster than its rated life, and a subway platform in July adds another twenty minutes of standing heat to any commute. Winter flips it entirely: cold, dry outdoor air and forced-air heating indoors both pull moisture out of human hair, which is a different failure mode than humidity but just as real.

The practical result is that we specify differently by season rather than issuing one build and leaving it. Through summer we default to breathable lace or mono construction and a stronger adhesive rated for sweat; through winter the same base survives longer, but the hair itself needs more conditioning to stop it going dry and static.

For a custom wig specifically, that usually means starting from a swiss lace base — front hairlines and anyone who sweats heavily, with a typical lifespan of 3–6 months of daily wear in this climate.

What is included

Cap measured to eight head points, so there is no slipping or gripping
Soft, seam-free interior for sensitive scalps during treatment
Lace or silk front with a hand-tied, bleached-knot hairline
Optional second cap in a shorter length for everyday wear

Where we fit a custom wig in New York

New York does not yet have a studio — every consultation, template, fitting and service visit is a home visit, run on a scheduled route rather than booked one-off wherever possible.

We run Manhattan and the inner boroughs — Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx — on a shared weekday rota, batched by neighborhood so a visit to one client's building usually means we can offer a nearby time slot to the next. Staten Island and the outer edges of the metro run on a separate, less frequent rota.

For clients in a shared apartment or an open-plan office who would rather not have a fitting done there, we can meet at a private space near a subway stop on request.

Owning a custom wig in New York: the twelve-month view

At 14 service visits a year, servicing is a bigger line item than most people expect when they compare unit prices. This is the schedule we plan against.

Aftercare schedule for a custom wig in New York
When	What happens
Every wear	Off at night, onto a block. A cap left folded loses its shape and never regrips the same way.
Weekly	Wash off the head, air-dry on a stand. Never dry a cap flat.
Monthly	Cap and interior check, especially if your scalp is sensitive or scarred from treatment.
Month 10-18	Replacement or re-knot assessment. Medical clients usually keep two caps on rotation - one full length, one shorter for everyday.
